(E12345) - The name of the Meter
Explanation
Bill Details
- The Bill has a Meter reading value of 12345 (previous reading) as of 1/2/2020 (From date)
- The Bill has a Meter reading value of 15000 (present reading) as of 28/2/2020 (Reading date)
- Number of days in the bill = 28
Channel Details
- The nearest date in the Channel to the from date of the bill is 1/2/2020, with a reading of 11000
- The nearest date in the Channel to the to date of the bill is 1/3/2020, with a reading of 12000 (1000 units used in 28 days)
- 1000 units / 28 days = 35.714 units per day between the two best available dates in the Channel
Calculation
35.714 units (the amount of units between dates in the Channel) x 27 (not 28 for some reason) (the number of days in the bill) = 964.3 (the predicted advance for the billing period)
964.3 units (the predicted advance for the billing period) added to 12345 (the previous reading in the bill) = 13309.3 (validator shows 13308.4)
